Overseas Military and Their Votes

[DoctorWeird]

I heard on the radio today that last election only 1/3 of military votes were counted in 2000 and they think that even less will be counted this year because of those in Iraq. Is this true? I never realised it was so bad.

1. They aren't counted if

the numbers aren't close enough for it to matter. Also, military absentee votes usually aren't counted if they are postmarked after a certain date or if they aren't recieved by a certain date... Florida was unusual in that a large number were accepted and counted (in certain counties) that were mailed late and/or recieved late.
